Summary

Objectives: The aim of this research is to compare the effectiveness of myofascial release therapy and exercise therapy on pain, quality of sleep, anxiety, trigger points, and joint sounds in individuals with temporomandibular disorders and myofascial pain-dysfunction syndrome. Material and Methods: A single-blind randomized clinical trial will be conducted in a university research clinic. Sixty-four subjects with temporomandibular disorders and myofascial pain-dysfunction syndrome will be randomly assigned to physical therapy group (myofascial release protocol and Rocabado exercise therapy) and control group (exercise therapy). Intensity of pain, quality of life, quality of sleep, anxiety, trigger points, and joint sounds will be collected at baseline, and forty-eight hours after the intervention phase.
